She had 4 from people she flew with and then also was in touch with one of the CA up the food chain in the interview process or somewhere up the road in management (also a former Marine).

It's not me, it's my wife. Although I have to admit I am somewhat envious of the opportunity she's got ahead of her. Whether DL or US, I have 6 years at SWA she'll upgrade either way well before I do. For me, for better or worse, I have made my bed at SWA and will lay in it so to speak. I am finding a lot less people on the line who think SWA is the dream place to be anymore.

Congratulations to your family. Sounds like a good situation to be in. She has a class on 10/14 and an interview on 11/13, what are her plans? Is she going to start that class date and try to find a day off somehow to interview? Might be dicey if she had a sim day or something that date.

Like I said, good situation to be in, just got me curious.

Sorry I shoulda paid closer attention, but congrats to you and her. Delta's a well run company with a visionary CEO.

As a FWNWA now DAL, I believe that DAL is the better choice. With an industry leading CEO, and for now, great financials, DAL is on the upswing.

A good number of retirements, flexibility in equipment, bases and great financials make DAL the place to be in the near future.

Things could always change, but that can be true for all airlines.

Plus she would get to wear a hat!

Well stated. That being said, you are making great coin now, and it would be tough to give up, along with both of you being newhires again. You have it right, you are in a good place, and hopefully the wife makes a good choice. Will she make the DL interview while in ground school at USAir? Again, I think both are good opportunities. Good luck to her and you.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Got the email yesterday. 12K hours and 3 type ratings.

Waylon,

Congrats and best of luck. Being at the front of the hiring push will provide the best results. If I may ask, did you have letters of rec from DL pilots as part of your airlineapps.com application ?

 

[SplitBar]

Got the email yesterday. 12K hours and 3 type ratings.

Are you an SSP invite? Did they send those out in seniority order?

 

[mike12345]

Have most of the people getting the invites had the "Delta Dart" as we are calling it in my guard unit? Meaning a friend sent the email recommendation directly to the pilot hiring team rather than just through airlineapps alone?

 

[AeroDMB]

How are they handling legacies? Not sure where to emphasize that on the application.
